accommodated him, no doubt, and
stepped in long enough to enter a plea
OF guilty, because

and magnanimous to fault. A
formal arrest would thus have been
obviated, and the reyengeful deputy
would have saved his credit and
avoided criticism.
After this glorious achievement the
two Commissioner and Deputy joined
forces and sailed forth in quest OF more
prey. They surprised and arrested Mr..
James NJ. Iverson, at his home in the
First Ward, but this was not very
difficult thing to do, because he has
never been away from home. The
Commissioner kept watch on the out,
side, while the Deputy reconnoitered.
They next invaded the quiet domi
Gle of one Gerhard Jensen, another
aged veteran, and, of course. found
him at home, where he belonged, and
where he should be at that time OF
night. The Commissioner, as usual
was stationed outside. A young lady
came out of the house; he commanded
her to halt, and kept her there, almost
PERIsHINe IN THE COLD,
all the time that the deputy remained
inside. We would like to ask why it is
that United States official (save the

Herbert Savage was next arrested, on
the same charge, and, like the others,

satisfactory or to his liking. he left in a
rage, slamming the door so hard behind
him that a large patch of plaster was
loosened and fell from the ceiling. We

that mans condition is deplorable.
Axel Christensen, Second Ward, was
the next Christian visite J. He gave the
officers more trouble than the others
